Communications
Acri-Data offers numerous communications choices ranging from simple, point-to-point, wired serial
communication to wireless Ethernet and Bluetooth. Most Acrison controllers must be equipped with optional
communications modules for use with Acri-Data. Various configurations are available including those that use
Gateway Devices from Acrison, or from third party manufacturers. Acri-Data can be configured in many ways
to achieve the communications required by the user. Contact Acrison for special requirements.

Configuration of Acri-Data is accomplished via the Communications Screen shown below.

Acri-Data directly supports Modbus/TCP and Allen Bradley Ethernet/IP protocols, operating as a master.

Baud rates from 9,600 to 57,600 are supported for serial communication.
